Abstract

This paper analyzes the protection of privacy rights in Indonesia in the context of digital slander dissemination, framed within the post-truth era. Using a normative juridical analysis, this study evaluates the adequacy and limitations of Indonesia's legal framework, particularly focusing on the Law on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law), in addressing digital defamation. The rise of the post-truth era, characterized by the spread of misinformation and subjective narratives, has exacerbated the challenges in safeguarding privacy rights online. The paper examines legal provisions, case law, and practical enforcement mechanisms to assess how well privacy rights are protected in digital slander cases. Findings highlight the gaps in the current legal framework, including unclear definitions and enforcement challenges. The study also explores the role of social media platforms and suggests potential legal reforms to strengthen privacy protections and hold digital platforms accountable for harmful content. Ultimately, this paper calls for more robust legal definitions, improved law enforcement, and stronger platform accountability to better protect privacy in the digital age.

Abstract

The implementation of smart city policies in Indonesia represents a major step toward integrating digital technologies into urban governance to improve public services, environmental sustainability, and citizen engagement. However, the rapid adoption of digital systems also raises concerns regarding the protection of human rights—particularly privacy, data security, freedom of expression, and non-discrimination. This study employs a normative legal analysis to examine Indonesia’s legal framework for safeguarding human rights within smart city policy implementation. Using primary and secondary legal materials, including the 1945 Constitution, Law No. 39 of 1999 on Human Rights, the Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law, and the Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 27 of 2022), the research evaluates their coherence and adequacy in regulating digital governance. The findings reveal that while Indonesia has established a fundamental legal basis for human rights protection, gaps persist in enforcement, institutional coordination, and public awareness. Smart city initiatives often prioritize technological efficiency over human rights safeguards, resulting in privacy violations, digital inequality, and limited accountability. The study concludes that integrating a human rights–based approach (HRBA)—focusing on participation, accountability, non-discrimination, and transparency—is essential for ensuring that smart city development aligns with constitutional and international human rights standards.
